It is through giving that we receive, and it is through dying that we are born to eternal life.
-- St. Francis of Assisi
Giving and dying...not necessarily natural instincts. Ones that we have to choose. Ones that we have to learn to choose.
And, ones that are probably easier to imagine in theory than in practice. In other words, where specifically do I need to give today? Where and how do I need to die to today?
